On that occasion, Nina Pobrić, Head of the Department for the Promotion of the FIPA, had a presentation on investment potentials of Bosnia and Herzegovina for representatives of BUMIAD.
Construction companies and engineers from Bosnia and Herzegovina each year record a growth of business at foreign market. The value of construction works abroad in 2014 increased by 9.7% compared to the previous year.
